Jak się uczyć gramatyki na podstawie piosenek

Piosenki potrafią być świetnym urozmaiceniem nauki języka obcego. Ja sama słuchając radia często napotykam się na jakieś ciekawe zwroty albo struktury gramatyczne użyte w piosenkach i potem "łazi to za mną", sprawdzam, szukam no i w efekcie- zapamiętuję i to na dłłłłłuuuugo ;) 

Często po latach słyszę jakiś utwór i pamiętam jak szukałam tekstu lub sama starałam się go odtworzyć (kiedyś nie można było tego tak po prostu wyguglować;). Czasem jest na odwrót- omawiam jakąś strukturę lub tłumaczę komuś jakieś wyrażenie i od razu przypominam sobie piosenkę w której to słyszałam. 

Wierzę, że piosenki (chociażby najgłupsze;) ułatwiają zapamiętywanie. Dzisiaj jadąc autem usłyszałam piosenkę jednego z moich najukochańszych zespołów "młodości" i uświadomiłam sobie, że ta piosenka jest wymarzonym materiałem do utrwalenia zdań z I WISH o których pisałam już tu. 

Zanim obejrzycie i posłuchacie polecam wrócenie do zasad tutaj- (I wish) Następnie tylko posłuchajcie, a potem zerknijcie na tekst i ewentualnie słownictwo jeśli was zainteresuje.

WISHLIST

Lyrics (Tekst)

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off

I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on

I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on

The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top

I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds

For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me

I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me

I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good

I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun

I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on

I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on

I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up

I wish...

I wish...

Oczywiście mamy do czynienia z użyciem Past Simple po I wish do mówienia o tym jak chcielibyśmy żeby było, ale nie jest ;)

Kolejna piosenka z WISH to oczywiście Wish you were here Pink Floyd, kolejny świetny materiał:

Lyrics (Tekst)

So, 

So you think you can tell 

Heaven from Hell? 

Blue skies from pain? 

Can you tell a green field 

From a cold steel rail? 

A smile from a veil? 

Do you think you can tell? 

Did they get you to trade 

Your heroes for ghosts? 

Hot ashes for trees? 

Hot air for a cool breeze? 

Cold comfort for change? 

Did you exchange 

A walk on part in the war 

For a lead role in a cage? 

How I wish 

How I wish you were here 

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl 

Year after year 

Running over the same old ground 

What have we found? 

The same old fears 

Wish you were here

Hmm, pamiętam też, że była taka piosenka w serialu True Blood o ile się nie mylę. Artysta to nic mi nie mówiąca Neco Case, ale piosenka znowu jest z I wish... ;)

Lyrics (Tekst)

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I've become

I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight

Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name
'Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same
I'm so lonely
I wish I was the moon tonight

God blessed me, I'm a free man
With no place free to go
I'm paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear

This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I've become

I'm so tired,
I wish I was the moon tonight

How will you know if you found me at last
'Cause I'll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
And I wish I was the moon tonight

I'm so tired, I'm so tired,
And I wish I was the moon
I'm so tired, I'm so tired,
And I wish I was the moon tonight

No i na deser - anielsko-głosa Angie Stone i I wish I didn't miss you:

Lyrics (Tekst)

Same old story is back again

She's not a lover, she's just a friend

I'm sick and tired for you to blame on me

Now you think it's funny

Now you wanna spend your money on girls 

But you forgot when you were down

That I was around

Call my lover, hang up, call again

What in the world is happening

Listen in, but don't yell at me

Isn't it ironic all you wanna do is smoke chronic

Boy, you forgot when you were down

Who was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore

Waiting for love to walk through the door

I wish I didn't miss you anymore

Memories don't live like people do

I'm sick for ever believing you

Wish you'd bring back the man I knew

Was good to me, oh Lord

Everytime you say you're coming

Boy, you disappoint me, honey

How well you forgot when you were down

And I was around

One of these days, it's gonna happen to you

Missing a love like I'm missing you, babe yeah yeah

One of these days, when your dreams come true

That's the one that's gonna do it to you

Oh oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
